SO when i got this car it was u-g-l-y as far as paint goes. I didnt think any type of buffing would help this mess but, I finally had some time to try to see if i could make a difference with some hard-core buffing etc, with an electric buffer and 1,200,009 bottles of cleaner, wax, and polish I spent the most time on the hood I was really REALLY shocked with the out come, and you will be too , especially if you are a member that was at the so cal meet and saw this thing in person. I am pleased this will hold me over until I get my body work and custom paint soon

thanks! i think its illegal but its one of those things they don't really enforce like tint that is too dark, the spray is like $25 and from Japan you can get it on ebay

25 bucks? VHT Nite-Shades is 13 bucks at any auto shop.

maybe it was called something else idk

should go another 3-4hrs. Great job though took me 4hrs to do half my car What chemicals did you use?

Yea, I plan to do another run before the next meet, gotta look my best I used a 3 step product *not sure of the brand it was in a burgundy bottle, 1st step was "wax cleaner", 2nd step was "polish" , 3rd step was "wax" I plan to do another full run of wax because I don't want to strip away all my hard work until it dulls out again, which it will over time

chances are, it was Meguiars since you said burgundy bottle. They have some good stuff.

Good work, girly! Props for putting some elbow grease into that car to get an awesome result!

yes, i think that was the name of it, so another coat of wax should do the job right? i dont want to strip off all that other stuff...
